Laughing Horse has been
booking and promoting regular comedy shows since
1998, at venues and festivals across the UK, and
internationally at festivals in Australia and
America.

Whatever your venue we can
supply comedians for your show and to help you have
the best night ever. If you're a Theatre, Hotel,
Holiday Park, Club, Bar, Pub or any other venue
we can supply the comedians you need to make your
comedy show a success.

And our service goes much
further than that - the success of your night is
important to us, and to make it successful we can
help and advise on all aspects of the show - the
set-up, the equipment needed, the promotion, the
organisation of the night, all of which will ensure
your night is the best it can be.

"A massive thank you to Alex and
Lewis for making the organisation of our
first Comedy Night effortless. The night
itself was a sell out and a great
success, we could not have asked for a
better evening. The mix of acts we were
given ensured that there was laughs for
everyone. All in all we were very
impressed and we are looking forward to
our next event." -Events
Manager, Ufford Park, Oct 2012

A
comedy night in your venue is beneficial in many
ways: To get extra customers into your venue on
the night of the show; to increase dry and wet
sales; to get new customers into your venue who will
then use it on other nights of the week; to increase
the amount of time people stay in your venue; and to
increase the profile of your venue by promotions
through local and national listings, the press and
the internet.

A Comedy show appeals across
the board to all ages and types of customer. It
entertains where other types of nights can leave
someone feeling left out. The target audience can be
very diverse, where a Karaoke, DJ or music night
only targets one type of person. The type of person
attracted to a comedy show is generally somebody
looking for a good night out, and comedy does not
attract the trouble-making element found at
entertainment nights with live bands, Karaoke,
football crowds and so on.

What
are the Options?

A wide range of options are
available and every venue receives a bespoke quote
from us for the show they would like - there are
a lot of variables to consider including the night
of the week and the location of the venue.

We can offer anything from
a fully managed comedy event, to working as a booker
to book acts for your venue, with you running the
night yourself. We have contact with every
comedian in the UK, and a good number around the
world, to book the right acts for your show. Be it a
big-name celebrity show, a show of top-level circuit
acts, or a night featuring the very best in new
talent. We can book acts that fit with your
budget and venue.

How
Much will it cost?

Depending on the type of
acts that you would like, the size of the audience,
the location of the venue and the day of the week
the price can vary a lot, so the prices below are
just a guide and we can book a show to any budget.

The prices below are aimed at
a full comedy club show format - with a compere and
three acts, giving you a show of two two-and-a-half
hours including intervals. We can also supply single
comedians, shows with less or more acts, or any
format you wish. For a bespoke quote for any type
for format of comedy show contact us on
